Overview
Enabling or disabling a Data Leak Prevention (DLP) policy allows administrators to control enforcement without deleting the policy. This helps manage testing, troubleshooting, and phased rollouts while keeping policy configurations intact for future use.
Why Enable or Disable a DLP Policy?
You may need to enable or disable a DLP policy to safely validate changes, reduce operational impact, or temporarily stop enforcement without losing policy logic or historical context.
When to Enable or Disable a DLP Policy?
Enable or disable a DLP policy when policy conditions are under review, during incident investigation, while onboarding new user groups or applications, or when enforcement needs to be paused due to business or operational requirements.
